It’s my second favorite day of the year. I wish I could tell you I was going out tonight dressed as bacon like Gavin Rossdale, but I’m not. I’ll be Alice in Wonderland, an old tried and true. Because I’m being both cheap AND lazy this year!...

I’ve always been happy to be a member of my generation. Sure, we’re considered slackers and technology addicts, and many of us are terrible at geography and world affairs. But hey, the Internet? Reliable cars? The Pixies? The comforts of my life more than...

Over the past few years, I’ve been building my soup repetoire. I’ve got everything from mulligatawny to chicken & dumplings to albondigas in the line-up, and each fall I start seeking out new recipes to add to the list. Last year I took on seafood...

I know you’ve heard a lot from me lately, but today I really HAD TO write. Last Friday was my 3-year Adoptiversary, and man did I score! I started the day by receiving a snazzy new collar that totally complements my caramel color. I came to work as usual, but I...

I know Bacon Man may be old news to many of you, but I finally wanted to put in my two cents. You know what I admire about Bacon Man? The way all dogs love him. And even more important, I love the consideration he shows for his canine friends. Cooling off so they...

It’s that time of year when the weather is crisp and so are the apples. My neighbors brought me a big bag of them last week and I’ve been enjoying them to no end. You just can’t get apples this sweet at the grocery store. And while I’ve been...

I gave a brief review of Daily’s thick-cut, hardwood smoked peppered bacon after the big Bacon Day Bash, but I decided to give this great bacon some more attention. Naseem, Cameron and I attended a beer festival this weekend, and decided to fill our bellies with...

Ah, the ingenuity of bacon-lovers. Always out finding new ways to incorporate bacon into their daily lives by wrapping, stuffing or infusing a favorite dish with smoky goodness. And while I think many of us have made great strides in this arena, I’m officially...

Hey Internet, I’m back! I’ve spent the last few months cataloging each and every blade of grass in my front and back yards. It was a long process, but totally worth it. If there was a PhD for dogs, my dissertation would be on the Native and Non-Native...

Dudes. I am seriously blown away by this latest of culinary creations. Adam Kuban of Serious Eats/A Hamburger Today got a tip from one of his readers about a sandwich now dubbed the Hamburger Fatty Melt, a four-ounce burger patty with two grilled cheese sandwiches for...

This is some amazing video right here. These proud Idahoans skewered strips of bacon on the tines of a pitchfork and submersed the whole mess into a vat of boiling oil. All I can say is wow. That is some backwoods ingenuity. The bacon on the far end is something...

I’m about to make a confession of which I am not proud: I love TV. I don’t think I loved TV before TiVo and DVRs, but now, like Depeche Mode, I just can’t get enough. And with the Discovery Channel, Food Network, Comedy Central, Travel Channel,...

Internet, welcome to your new favorite site! The Reddit Cats with Bacon page is AMAZINGLY fun, and full of fabulous photos and videos of…you guessed it, cats with bacon. And not just images like this one of a scheming cat spying on bacon. There are cats with...

Wow, seems I was not the only one to hear about the Bacon & Eggs costume. And what’s even better, people have been coming up with their own version of the bacon get-up for quite some time. If you go to flickr and do a search for “bacon costume,”...

It’s no secret that I enjoy the Bacon Salt. It was one my very first blog posts, and I totally use it at home for all kinds of recipes. I have one of every flavor, and a really big bottle of the Hickory. If you are one of the 3 people on the planet who have yet...

For those of you who like to cook seasonally, here’s a smashing idea. Although this looks to be Summer Squash, I’m sure any old squash or gourd would do the trick beautifully. Via Food Makes Me Happy...

Archie McPhee, you complete me. Naseem and I were just saying last night that McPhee will likely keep coming up with a new bacon product every few months from here to eternity. Then yesterday she sends me this. So now if bacon mints, floss, or toothpicks don’t...

As you may have heard by now, October is National Pork Month, and I for one would just like to say “here, here!” I know we’ve focused solely on bacon in this blog, but I’d like to take a moment to reflect on the many, many pork recipes and...

Well it’s October, my favorite month of the year. As I mentioned yesterday I love the fall. I love that Thanksgiving is just eight weeks away, and most of all I love Halloween! I’ve always been a fan of the creepy costumes, awesome cartoon specials and the...
